Honestly, this is where my ignorance begins to show. My truck is deleted (came that way), but I’ve honestly never been under it to look. Guess maybe I need to check, lol.

I wonder how much horsepower was freed up in that? They say you can free up upwards of a 150 horse on the CTD just by deleting all that crap.

Also had a horse stall mat in the garage and it fits pretty good .75x4x6 and heavy as Hell! I live on
a fairly deserted highway, see how it handles the highway speeds tomorrow.

That flag is sick! Is it black material? Looks like it. Would be an awesome subtle detail on my truck.. Lol

Nice job! Where did you get the Black Reflective vinyl in home cutter machine sized sheets? I've been considering getting one of them and the availability of that stuff might just be the tipping point. :)

Gave her a nice bath, detailed the interior. Way too nice out to not, even though it’s going to rain on Thursday. Had to get the road grime and snow mess off of her.

Same flares that im running, I'll definitely post a picture or 10 when I install. What offset wheels are you running?

The Mamba M19s for our rigs, in a 17x9 anyway, have 0 offset (compared to +18 on the stock Reb wheels) and you don't really notice the difference on the rear axle; the front is noticeable, but not bad. The spray, as a result of the new wheels sticking farther out, is enough that I think flaps on the front are warranted, but I've always been on the fence about 'em.

BTW, you deserve a shout-out and a tip of the hat for testing all those different flaps; owners here get into motor oil and sidesteps/nerf bars/sliders and such, but I don't recall anyone going through flaps like you!

Hahaha thanks! Each application served a purpose. Flexy flaps and flares on anything that sees offroad is a must, I blew a cops windshield out pretty bad with my jeep so after that I always make an attempt as a courtesy to run them. Molded flaps looked better on my f150 but it was a pretty boy truck, granted they didn't cover as well. This rig is gonna see some abuse, so I need something flexible, figure I'll try another variant. Time is money for me any more so the quicker the install at a good price point the better off I am. Someone has to try things out, I abuse everything I touch so it's always a safe bet I'll find it's short comings.

It is black reflective. Pain in the butt to cut, well the weeding took me about an hour to do.

Later in life I will be taking it full blown, but the town tint/vinyl shop will cutting it

These guys have the largest selection I have seen of any vinyl. Buy the 12x24 and cut it in half and save about a buck

Thanks for posting the link! I'm looking at using the "Etched Vinyl" to make a US flag that goes across my rear window, and use the blue "etched" vinyl for one of the stripes.
